Fender Vintage Custom 1959 Telecaster - USA 2020

This 2020 Fender Vintage Custom '59 Telecaster is a stunning example of Fender’s “Time Capsule” series—built to vintage specs with no artificial ageing, as if it’s been tucked away in its case since 1959. Finished in a classic sunburst with double-bound alder body, this guitar exudes understated class and showcases the golden era of Telecaster design with a showroom-fresh feel.

The rift sawn maple neck is carved to a full-feeling '59 Large "C" profile—substantial but comfortable, ideal for both rhythm and lead playing. It features a compound 7.25"–9.5" radius fingerboard for a seamless blend of vintage feel and modern playability, adorned with period-correct clay dot inlays. The neck is smooth, stable, and beautifully finished, offering a playing experience that’s both familiar and refined.

Loaded with a set of Fender Custom Shop hand-wound ’58 Telecaster pickups, this guitar delivers bright, snappy Tele twang with a touch of warmth and depth. The bridge pickup cuts with bite and presence, while the neck brings out a rounded, woody tone perfect for soulful leads and clean rhythm work.

This example is in immaculate condition—essentially unplayed, with the original protective film still on the pickguard. A top-tier Custom Shop build with all the tone, feel, and detail of a vintage original—minus the wear and tear.

Includes original G&G tweed case, certificate of authenticity, case candy, strap, and cable.
